Around College Basketball

We were predicted 25 pre season last year! We seem to be at our best before we play any games .

It was a very accurate prediction. If not for three inexplicable bad losses, the team would have been ranked by the end of the season. Injuries to key players and subs hurt. No one expected the slow transition for Dingle and the "not ready for prime time" development of Simeon Wilcher. That dampened our backcourt effectiveness but thank God that Daniss Jenkins exceeded expectations.

And what if we lost our three closest wins? We might not even make the NIT.

And if South Carolina lost one game they wouldn't be undefeated.
My emphasis was on BAD losses......not on close wins.

As everyone can see he’s got all the physical tools you could look for. Can’t shoot it well enough to be a standout at the high level but I would think he could be a contributor off the bench for a HM team.

Tyler Kolek being 31 is all you need to know about this draft class

I think he's your quintessential flier you take in the middle to end of the second round, but I don't trust his ball handling ability translating to the next level or being crafty/athletic enough to really stick. Plus he's 23, which is a old for a NBA prospect

Kind of player that if he makes it 2, he probably stays 12.

Just my guess that Kolek lands in the first round somewhere . He’s proven to be a heady player .
Passing , Shooting , dribbling . He didn’t get to be BE POY last season or 1st team this year by not having skills that translate to NBA .

Plus he’s a Lefty . Always good to have one on your team .

Puts in perspective how much of a different universe Kentucky basketball is
